Week 3

Kia ora koutou,

Things you need to know: 

Term 3 goals: As you will have noticed, Seesaw has been busy with new posts. These posts are our focuses for the term and marking rubrics we will be using for those areas. If you have any questions about these, please let us know. 

Ski notice: if a ski notice was brought home, some of you were missing a page. Here is the info that might have been missed:

Disco: This year's disco is on Friday, 9 August 6-8pm. The theme this year is Dancing Through the Decades - so pick your decade and find a costume to suit! Entry is $6 per child which includes a goody bag and with DJ Straya (Vikki) we promise great music, games and prizes for the most creative costumes. Clarkville students only at this event please and you will need to have your tea before you come as no outside food is allowed.

Please send your child with a named water bottle as we won't be providing bottles of water for the children again this year, this is to reduce waste.

Tickets will be sold prior to the disco via Kindo https://shop.tgcl.co.nz . Please purchase your child's ticket by midday on Friday, 9 August. There will be limited door sales so buying your ticket on Kindo will guarantee entry. You don't need to bring your Kindo confirmation with you, we will have a list at the door on the night.

If you have any questions about the disco please don't hesitate to get in touch with Krissie on 0274 782 114 or jewellerybykrissie@yahoo.co.nz .

Jump Jam For Star Jam: Friday 16th August

What's happening next week?

Wednesday 7th: Ski notices to be returned and payment made to the office. Please note that there will be no refund for the bus if for any reason you are unable to attend on the day.

Have a lovely weekend and don't forget that we are always here if you need to discuss anything or just to have a chat.

Wow! It's week 8 already, where has the term gone? A lot of you must be busy with weekend winter sport and just staying warm. The shortest day is close, which means the daffodils will be working their magic so keep your head up.

Learning conferences weeks 9 & 10. Book your conference with us if you haven't done so already.

Re: Chill TTT recipe activity. More information will come out about this towards the end of the term. Please check with us before bringing ingredients to school as the children need to have a plan and know how to make the item before hand.

Dear Parents

We are planning a trip to Silverstream Reserve on Tuesday 2 July from 10am – 12.30pm. We will travel to and from the Reserve by bus and there is no cost for families.

Children are encouraged to come to school in warm mufti clothes with gumboots or strong shoes. Bringing a uniform to change into afterwards would be ideal.

We would love some parents to accompany us on this trip. Please let your team teachers know if you are available to help out.

NZ Playhouse Show coming to Clarkville

For the last two years we have had NZ Playhouse visit the school to perform for us in the MPF. Their performances are of a high quality and have had us all laughing in our seats.

We are pleased to welcome back New Zealand Playhouse for their show The Tortoise and the Hare.

After beating the Gingerbread Man in the finals of ‘Who’s the Fastest Of Them All?’ everyone knows The Hare is the undisputed ‘Master of Faster’ and if they don’t they soon will thanks to the Hare’s boasting and gloating about their momentous momentum. In fact, the only creature the harebrained Hare hasn’t beaten in a race is the Tortoise, but why bother when everyone knows it would be a walk-over and a run-over. Or maybe not.

New Zealand Playhouse will be coming to us on Wednesday 12 June at 1.50pm. The cost is $5 per student and this amount will be added to your account.

Any parents who would like to join in the fun would be very welcome. The show will finish just before the end of the school day. There is no cost for parents but we would appreciate you arriving before 1.50pm to avoid interrupting the show.

Thank you for your support.
